Is Georgia Really “Gun Friendly”?

June 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Taken from data contained in the article “Georgia has more places off limits to bearing arms than California” by Ed Stone:

Georgia or California: Which place has more off limits locations to bearing, i.e., actually carrying, a firearm?

  • Is it legal to carry at Public Buildings and Meetings? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at the State Capitol? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at the Governor’s Mansion? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at School? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at any place that serves alcohol other than a restaurant? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at a place of worship? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at a sporting event? YES in California, NO in Georgia.
  • Is it legal to carry at undefined “public gatherings”? YES in California, NO in Georgia.

Georgia will let you get your Georgia Firearms License, but will tightly control if and where you can carry your firearm, in some ways making the Georgia Firearms License practically meaningless. The above comparison SHOULD be absolutely embarrassing to the Georgia politicians.

Just one more reason to move to the Idaho hills and watch Georgia implode from a safe distance.
